Counselling in school, career construction and work contexts
In western countries for an increasing number of vulnerable population groups the recent economic crisis is threatening the possibility of experiencing satisfying conditions in social and work life. Additionally, current conditions have also seen a rise in the number of psychosocial discomfort and need for counseling services capable of helping individuals in facing both early school leaving and inclusion problems, and difficulties in vocational guidance, career construction and work inclusion.
Operators are then asked to show their ability to cooperate with different professionals and services; to have skills relevant for strengthening resilience, instilling confidence and hope, stimulating the recruitment of cognitive and emotional resources, identifying not only barriers but also strengths and opportunities. These are crucial “functions” emphasized also by the University Network on Counselling in order to improve quality of life, social and work inclusion for all.

"Vocational guidance focuses on how individuals live their present and on
how they represent and plan, as much as they can, their own future.
Satisfaction about one's present situation and predictions about one's
future imply, at least in western societies, perception of a number of
possibilities and options. Some will be more practicable than others and
will allow reaching immediate advantages and reinforcements, while others
will need considerable efforts to be pursued and realized to allow
reinforcements and gratifications to be spread over time (even after many
years). Some lucky people have such opportunities ready at hand, without
having to struggle, thanks to others that make them available to them. Other
people cannot see them, and others still - and these are the ones we most
worry about- have very few opportunities or options, which are often also
little attractive"

La.R.I.O.S. was founded in 1994 within the Department of Developmental and Socialization Psychology with the aim of giving fresh impulse to both
research and application in the ambit of School-career Guidance.
The objective of the Laboratory is to realize highly qualified services for
career counselors and for public and private bodies that deal with
vocational guidance.
La.R.I.O.S. proposes interventions - which are the result of rigorous
research - also to students and workers who are interested in counseling
activities.
